8:37 - The lead singer/guitarist of Megadeth, Dave Mustaine, used to be the lead guitarist of Metallica when they first formed. Substance abuse by Dave led to him being fired and replaced by Kirk Hammett. Afterward, Dave formed his own band, Megadeth. As far as being friends, that's a whole other story that you'll have to look up on your own 😅

[@thegrimner]

I came into the comments to say just that, it gave me a very hearty chuckle to hear Aileen say that.

[@riffgroove]

It wasn't the substance abuse that got him kicked out, as ALL of the Metallica members were raging alcoholics at the time. It's the fact that Dave became a really nasty drunk when he was inebriated, which was pretty much most of the time.

[@metalmark1214]

Metallica is the James and Lars band.

[@parkeralley5607]

lmao yeah I had to comment this, glad someone else mentioned it first. Innocent enough, but in all reality I dont think they are friends

[@tonysoto8949]

That’s bullshit they all did the same drugs and drank. But Dave became violent when he was drunk Then there was the incident where James Hetfield kicked Dave’s Pitbull puppy and Dave confronted him and In the argument Dave wound up punching James in the face sending him flying backwards and landing on his back. One of those You Got Knocked The Fuck Out moments. At that point Lars and James decided to start looking for a new guitarist in secret. Then they waited until a long road trip back East to finally tell him he was kicked out the band. Like a dirty friend who never liked you they dropped him off Penny less at the bus station and left. There is more to it but it’s slanderous to state it was due to substance abuse. Dave’s drug problems began in Megadeth when the musicians he hired all were into harder drugs like Gar Samuelson who was a heroine addict.

[@PorkchopXpress]

Sad, almost no mention of the late legend Nick Menza in the comment section. Dude was a beast on the drums. Easily one of the greatest of all-time. Do yourself a favor and watch their Live in London from 1992, it'll blow your mind. Glad I got to see him before he passed. R.I.P.

[@mrnicebeats6282]

Next to Gar Samuelson, Nick Menza was a great drummer that went perfect with Megadeth

[@markbrown3375]

Yeah Nick was awesome 👏 and I also got to see him a few times on the same tour 🤘🤘🤘 RIP

[@kevinpeaslee4594]

Nick Menza is awesome RIP

[@puppetmaster8551]

Menza was a fantastic drummer, his work in megadeth was top tier

Several relatively subtle flexes in one paragraph.

[@travisbeckner6849]

If you like the bass (played by David Ellefson) then you'll love "Peace Sells, But Who's Buying" a must to listen to for Megadeth

[@wiz9496]

My niece worked for David Ellefson a few years ago when she was going to college in Jackson, Minnesota. She said her last two paychecks bounced. Great bassist, shitty boss.

[@raregrimebeats1352]

This is a must. One of the best bass intros of all time

[@themetalgameralexmontalvo8088]

I agree but as a bass player my self I will say my last word by Megadeth is the song to here if you want to here a bass line that speaks out,pace sell after the intro which is amazing switch to a regular bass line but my last word is the opposite.

[@fredbarnes2600]

wholeheartedly agree. It was my first Megadeth and remains my favorite almost 40 years later

[@peterbell3199]

Such a classic freaking song. I remember when it came out. I was thinking this will make people forget all about “Peace Sells”

[@DrAytch]

I saw the premiere on Headbanger’s Ball. I had to have the album immediately.

[@amostlyreasonableguy]

@@DrAytch that’s awesome. I’m younger and got into them in the late 90s but holy wars blew me away when I heard it for the first time. I had listened to the entire Countdown to Extinction album as it was a friend’s uncles cd and I thought “man, this can’t get any better.” And then I bought Rust in Peace and was floored.

[@ronk6405]

@@DrAytch same

[@xunil76]

Exactly this...Peace Sells was the album that initially got me into Megadeth, and I absolutely LOVED that album (and still do)...but Rust In Peace is light years beyond Peace, not to mention the lineup during this album was one of the best the band ever had. RIP is the crown jewel of their entire discography, and honestly, one of the best metal albums ever created in my opinion.

[@danniedwards5750]

Masterpiece of and album and countdown to extinction

[@ras1851]

‘’Let’s hope they and Mettalica are friends.’’ Well it’s a long story

[@shawnnorris.8387]

i love watching the younger generation discover this golden era of metal. tornado of souls if you havent listened to it yet is a must by megadeth

[@Steveshappylittletrees]

One of the best breakup songs there is

[@metalmark1214]

This certainly is a Megadeth song with epic guitar riffs and solo.

[@RobertLeija]

The whole album is classic "Thrash Metal", one of the top tier echelons of accomplishments for a band. I've heard it so many times growing up that it would be ridicules to even attempt to try and count. By the way that is the staple of Thrash Metal, lots of change ups and riff's galore.....if you like those things you will continue to enjoy your adventure into the depths of these legendary musicians.

[@metaltildeth6783]

Yes, this whole album is a Thrash Metal master piece. Every song on 'Rust in Peace' is a classic with the exception of 'Dawn Patrol', which is basically just bass and drums with Mustaine reading the lyrics. The song is not bad, it just does not incorporate the whole band. 'Take No Prisoners', 'Five Magics', 'Lucretia', 'Poison Was the Cure' and 'Rust in Peace... Polaris' are lesser played gems. 'Hangar 18', 'Tornado of Souls' along with 'Holy Wars...' are the main songs most people like off this album.

[@markbarber419]

Well said!

[@EnervatedSociety]

I still listen to this album, in it's entirety often. It was one of those albums that changed my life. At the time I mostly listened to Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer, Rust in Peace by Megadeth, Cowboys from Hell by Pantera, Souls of Black by Testament and Lights...Camera...Revolution! by Suicidal Tendencies. Great times.

[@qromzi]

I'll add Countdown to Extinction album in the repertoire..

[@markbarber419]

Wow.. all my same favorites... weird lol. You forgot anthrax "among the living" though...js haha..

[@EnervatedSociety]

@@qromzi Countdown wasn't out at the time but it's a cool album.

[@EnervatedSociety]

@@markbarber419 Anthrax never did much for me honestly. It was the singers mostly. Belly Of The Beast was an OK song, I could listen to it for some nostalgia.

[@WarmasterMoloch]

@@EnervatedSociety I felt the same, but when the got John Bush onboard, it all opened up for me. A run of absolutely magnificent albums, with a singer who doesn't sound like a three year old girl who just stepped on her Lego.

[@Drinckx2]

Thrash is a great genre - so important in the development of metal. In addition to Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax - often collectively known as the ‘Big Four’, you should listen to some of the lesser known but equally great thrash bands like Exodus, Testament, Overkill and Kreator.

[@youcantleavethisempty]

Well said - not enough people check out Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Dark Angel ... I could go on and on...

[@TheGiiant]

Have to see this and see what u say. This is one of the best songs ever made!!!! no matter what u like or not. This is a masterpiece

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

Dave was fired from Metallica when they got signed, record company didn't like his volatility. But the first 2 Metallica albums have Mustaine in the writing credits for most every song

[@bobarmon3340]

When Dave was fired from Metallica he went on a rage to be a better band. I believe Megadeth is a better band than Metallica with Metallica with more talent

[@bobarmon3340]

I meant Megadeth has more talent

[@sassy7766]

@@bobarmon3340 agreed. I much prefer megadeth. And you can tell Dave’s influences on early Metallica. I hate radio stations that have mandatory Metallica Mondays. I’m like f&;; Metallica give me Mandatory Megadeth!

[@amozzyxentrix5416]

Dave em all

[@stevecoronado1103]

Sadly Kirk got paid the royalties of Dave's riff writing all the way up to Ride the Lightning. Eventually Dave did get paid.

[@iknowjack316]

Nick menza's drumming style added a whole new dynamic to the Megadeth sound.

[@JorgitoFerreira]

It's completelly normal that 80's thrash metal bands sang about war beacause they grew up during the Cold War. Everyone was worried about the start of a new World War and a possible massive destruction with nuclear weapons. ☢☠

[@tskwerl]

One of the things that always amazed me about Dave is just the sheer speed he can play at. You'll get a taste of that on Take No Prisoners from this album and it's back in form on their latest song, We'll Be Back. Absolute legend.

[@viperfanboy3663]

I'm still blown away at him playing that fast and complex while doing vocals. I know people trash on his vocals but I'd like to see them try to sing like Rob Halford while keeping up with playing guitar at this level.

[@timothynelms2683]

Dave Mustaine was the original guitarist for Metallica until he was kicked out . Some of Metallica's early music was written by Dave. One of my favorite songs of all time is "A Tout La Monde" by Megadeth, I think you would like it as well.

[@Shuhlyiautist]

[@harlanmonk569]

Megadeth has always been one of my faves. They have many songs that are phenomenal that aren't mainstream like Hook in Mouth,Ashes in Your Mouth,This Was My Life ,Lucretia and Liar. Check them out. If you like melodic death metal you really need to check out an Aussie band Ne Obliviscaris and Forget Not. You will be hooked. Their catalogue is flawless.Thanks.

[@tallguytrucker5956]

This is definitely one of their best songs off their rust in piece cd that was released in 1990. Multiple lineup changes throughout megadeths existence but in my opinion this was their best lineup

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

Dave is highly intelligent, you can tell by the substance of his lyrics. And very talented guitar player, he plays lead alot and sings, which is very hard/ difficult for any musician to do.

[@kwantoon]

Dave has a reputation of being difficult to work with, however. Dave's contribution to this genre of music is immeasurable because of his writing, contributions and collaborations with other phenomenal musicians. Rust in Peace is an absolute masterpiece from beginning to end.

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

@@kwantoon my ex wife was a stripper, and she got me backstage at a MEGADETH concert in my hometown to meet Dave, and I got a picture of me and Dave next to each other, he really wanted her to go hangout in the bus with him. I was lucky that she didn't. She took the picture with her when we separated

[@peeramidwithin3823]

From a musical writing perspective no metal band touches Megadeth.

[@ronk6405]

nope

[@Ontariosound]

At their peak, you have a good argument there.

[@gregbell9839]

Definitely not. The awesome thing about it is Dave invented a few techniques which have since become staples of metal guitar. They make a lot of sense, sound damn good, and are a lot of fun to use. Like spider fingering. Hell, without that technique alone we probably wouldn't have In Flames today. Their original stuff was almost nothing but spider fingering.

[@lyradguitar]

The closest intense riff metal band of this caliber is Pantera IMO

[@brandoncrimmins6296]

Not to diminish Mustaine or Megadeth. But I think you mean “for their time”. Because today we have much more technically complex writers. Animals as Leaders, Jason Richardson, All Shall Perish… And there were a couple of much more technically proficient players back then, however I do agree that megadeth had most of the great riffs and changes compared to anyone else. I’ve always loved them!

[@lantzkeefer6]

They are streaming their performance at Hellfest on KZbin it was either yesterday or today.Watched Opeths performance a couple of days ago and they were great.This is one of my favorite Megadeath song's,the guitar playing is epic, and I really like the message because it's definitely true.🤘

[@plantdesigns7889]

I absolutely love Megadeth with Marty Friedman. One of my absolute favorite guitarists.

[@CoreyAReeves]

Megadeth is a timeless classic in terms of metal. A lot of people think this line up with Mary Friedman on guitar was the best they had to offer.

[@allanmartins9584]

I recommend Raining Blood or South of Heaven by Slayer. Amazing songs by one of the best thrash metal bands.

[@pentheroliver3794]

For a live one , you have to do She-Wolf - Live - Rude Awakening !!!☢😎🤘 ☢ It's not some early song of Megadeth like this one, it's from 1997 Cryptic Writings. At first with the song Trust because it as a more accessible sound, it became the album that got me into Metal. And in 1998 my first metal show that i will never forget.

[@gilbertespinozaiii4192]

Yes!!!! Came here to suggest this same song!!

[@travisbeckner6849]

Dave Mustaine was one of the original members of Metallica and was kicked out for being an alcoholic (oh the irony) and went on to immediately form Megadeth, both bands released their first albums within the same year

[@SJ-ty5rw]

He was kicked out because he was a "violent" alcoholic" . When you think about it he hasn't been able to hold on to any long term members in his band . He's a great rhythm player ! no doubt but a weird guy

I love your comment "a little bit of everything", because this song really is a roller coaster ride of everything metal. I don't think I've ever heard anything heavier than this, 30 years on.

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Great reaction! I truly believe that you would love the song,” LOVE BITES” by Judas Priest. One of my favorites by Megadeth is,” PEACE SELLS BUT WHO’S BUYIN’.”

[@spencerific93]

The first part of this song is a criticism of war fought on behalf of religion, specifically The Troubles in Northern Ireland. Megadeth was playing a concert there, and Dave kept hearing people talk about "the cause". During the concert, and not knowing what he was getting himself into, Dave shouted something like "this is for the cause!" before ripping into a cover of Anarchy In The U.K. This resulted in a riot, and the band had to be escorted out of the country. The second part of the song is about the Marvel character The Punisher, of whom Dave was quite a fan.

[@bluethunder7391]

Best metal song ever created, not even Metallica ever created a masterpiece like that.

[@damonglover6032]

80s metal refers to war alot because most of the bands grew up during the cold war and Madd. Something about scrambling to get under under your desk for bomb drills and knowing that the whole planet was toast if MADD really kicked off. Kids today have to worry about school shooting but cold war kids had to worry about a flash of light that would blind them, sear their shadow into surfaces around them and turn them into a pile of ash that would be irradiated and scattered for miles by a blast wave traveling at 1200 mph. Those were the lucky kids. Those that survived the blasts would probably be slowly killed by radiation burns and sickness or starve to death in the nuclear winter that would follow even "limited" exchanges.

Also she-wolf and Hangar 18 are good ones to listen to as well it's hard to put one or two songs to listen to by Megadeth so I'd rather suggest you listen to the whole albums or reaction video but I can understand that that might be a little too much but you'll be amazed Symphony of Destruction is the regular go to for a reaction video It's a real good one too and on the radio it's kind of overplayed where I'm from so but it's still a good song it never gets old when you hear it and I thank you you play a lot of stuff that keeps going and happy and helps keep me from going crazy from my anxiety so thank you and keep up the good work and videos music is the gateway to soul and it is what ties everyone together and can make the world more peaceful ✌ ❤

Aileen, keep practicing! It really does take repetition. I learned this entire album and all the guitar solos in the mid 90’s. In comparison to Metallica songs, Megadeth, especially this album is a lot more challenging. If you like bass, death metal, prog check out Ne Obliviscaris- and plague flowers the kaleidoscope live in Denver. They’re an Australian band with a unique style that will definitely impress.

Megadeth was born from a resentment Dave Mustane (lead singer and shredder for Megadeth) had against Metallica for kicking him out of the band (due to his drinking problem). There are many similarities between the two. As a matter of fact, if you listen to Mechanix by Mega and The Four Horsemen by Metallica, it's basically the same song.

[@gregbell9839]

I've been playing guitar for 23 years. Here's a tip I've given people I've taught to help make your learning and progress a more pleasant experience. Use your pinky as much as possible. It's a finger that gets overlooked a lot. If you ignore it in the beginning, by the time you get comfortable taking on songs like Holy Wars, Master of Puppets, Lucretia, Rust in Peace, Tornado of Souls, or Jump in the Fire, you're gonna have a bad time. Hell, I still catch myself tucking my pinky from time to time. (Positioning it beneath the fretboard, often times under the neck as well.) It's not a good thing to do at all. It's bad form. So is anchoring your pinky on your strumming hand to the body/pick guard/bridge pickup. It can be difficult learning to float your strumming hand over the strings while accurately hitting the strings you're aiming for, but it's an important technique which will allow you to have an easier time learning more advanced strumming hand playing techniques. Like finger-picking and being able to go from picking to tapping and back fluidly. It's impossible to use either of those techniques while anchoring your pinky. I hope that helps you on your path to becoming a great guitarist! And don't worry, you don't have to be a radio-played household name in one of the biggest bands on the planet to be a great guitarist. So don't kick yourself too hard for not being able to play the Crazy Train solo by your tenth attempt at full speed. You'll get there. Trust me. Also: Looking forward to your first cover! 😉

So happy you chose Megadeth Holy Wars, a great introduction to one of the best 80's bands. You should try "A Tout Le Monde" next as it's a totally different style song from Megadeth, especially the one featuring cristina scabbia, her vocals really add to the ambiance of the song. So nice to see someone really enjoying the stuff we old farts used to listen to back in the day !

There are a ton of great Megadeth songs. First Megadeth song I ever heard was Sweating Bullets, and I think it will probably always be my favorite, so that’s my recommendation. It’s an unusual song, but absolutely incredible.

Megadeth has an absolutely huge anthology to chew through. Some good ones I think are Tornado of Souls, Into The Lungs of Hell/Set The World On Fire, Trust, Ecstacy, Insomnia.

I Love that KZbin and React Channel expose the Today 20 year old to the amazing Metal music of the early 1990 ies

Next song "Peace Sells but who's buying" is a must! Classic Megadeth grooves! Love your reactions!

I absolutely love this song. The ironic part is they wrote this before the Gulf War and Desert Storm. Almost like they knew it was coming. It's crazy. It was released just a few months before it started. Megadeth always has it's pulse on society.

Dave Mustane the lead singer was in Metallic in the beginning, Saw accept, Savatage, Megadeth, all before the headliner Dio, mid eighties, still one of the best shows out of hundreds, I like the tune skin of my teeth

First saw them perform this song live in Honolulu HI feb 28, 1991. Seen it performed many times since and it has always given me goosebumps.

This is a metal masterpiece. One of the most complex and technical metal songs with more layers than an onion. Great reaction and discussion.
